Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

A little girl who is neither pretty nor clever can hardly draw a teacher’s attention, especially when she is shy and self-abased.

I was such a girl when i was at the age of eight. At that time I was a primary school student. I loved reading books, hearing stories and playing games. Also I enjoyed listening to music as well as singing songs. I didn’t find myself evry interested in music until Miss Lois, my music teacher, came into my life.

She was a young lady who looked just over 20 years old. She was pretty and gentle, with great patience. She has made such a great influence on me that I cannot and will never forget her. In our music classes, Miss Lois sometimes played a short piece of music and asked us to repeat. It was a bit difficult for an eight-year-old child to do so. In one of those classes, some clever girls were chosen, and then followed by some pretty ones. A few of them could do a good job and gained Miss Lois’s praise. Then, to everyone’s surprise, I became the one who was chosen to do it. Surpried and anxious, I didn’t know whether I would be a laughing stock. Miss Lois looked at me with a beautiful smile. At once I calmed myself and took great courage. At last i did very well and was said to be the best.

Maybe Miss Lois can’t remember my name now, for she treats every pupil kindly. But she really has played

a very important role in my life. It’s she who turned a self-abased girl into a confident one.

B. Y oung.

C. Patient

B. Joyful.

C. Appreciative.

D. Sarcastic.

35. The writer did very well when she was asked to repeat the piece of music because_______.

A. the teacher smiled at her which gave her great courage.

B. she was actually good at it but she didn’t realize that before.

D. both Aand B

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Why did I choose to attend college? I have asked myself many times during the past three and a half months. Did i come bacause of my parents’influence or because of the goal of my own? After thinking about these questions many times, I have reached the conclusion that it is something that I truly want to do.

Originally my parents did influence my opinions about education in general. From the beginning of my schooling, my parents seemed to assume that I would attend college, and by the time I reached senior high school, I had become used to that idea as well.

When I entered senior high school, I attended the college preparatory program there, looking ahead four years to college. Then gradually I became truly interested in many of the subjects. And I felt that I wanted to continue to study those areas. As my senore high school drew to a close, I began to realize why I had this hope.

Finally, i began to recognize in my life a strong desire to obtain knowledge, I knew that I would not be content to simply end my education careea with senoir high school and enter the working world. I truly felt a need to continue learning in order to get a better understanding of the world around me. My final decision to attend college seemed a natural one, and my choice of engineering as a field of study came easily as well.

36. Why does the writer come to college? It is _______.

A. because of his parents

B. because of his teacher.

C. because he wants to find a good job later.

B. To study what I like.

C. To drop school.

D. To end senior high school as quickly as possible.

39. What does“enter the working world”mean in Paragraph 4?

A. To make friends with the workers.

B. To find a job.

C. To go to the factory.

D. To find a part-time job.

40. Why does the writer say“my final decision to attend college seemed a natural one”?

A. Because it was decided by the writer’s parents.

B. Because the writer studied very well.

C. Because the writer liked nature.

D. Because the writer had a clear idea about why he came to college.

Passage Three

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this is not true in Brazil. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 am and end at 12 am. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 am and several arrived after 10:30 am. Two students came after 11 am. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university call, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American students defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian students felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.

Classed not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

41. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. This was the first time the professor taught in Brazil.

B. The concept of time in Brazil is quite different from that in American.

C. Brazilian students will never feel angry when another person is late for their appointment.

D. Brazilian students don’t consider it improper to stay late after class.

42. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?

A. He felt puzzled (困惑) at the students’ being late.

B. He felt angry at the students’ rudeness.

C. He wanted to make the students come on time later.

D. He wanted to collect data (收集数据) for one of his studies.

43. It can be inferred (推断) from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that ________.

A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late.

B. neither Brazilian not American students like being late in social gatherings.

C. being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture.

D. Brazilian students will not come until thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.

44. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil _______.

A. it is important to arrive at the appointed time.

B. it is rude to keep the professor staying after class.

C. it is normal for students to leave during lectures.

D. it is acceptable for professors to stay late after class.

45. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.

B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.

C. The concept of time in Brazil is very strict.

D. Students being late for class should explain the reasons to their teacher.

Cloze

If we were asked what we were doing a year ago, we would probably have to say that we couldn't remember. But if we kept a book and had written in it an account of 1 we did each day, we should be able to give an answer 2 the question.

It is the same with history. Many things have been 3 because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did 4 a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes 5 was never any written record at 6 because the people of that 7 and place did not know 8 to write. For example ,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who 9 after them. But we know almost 10 about the people who lived even 2,000 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Online HomeWork_U1B3 I. Reading Comprehension Section A Fast Reading Back in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy. After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines. They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works. When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.” Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.” By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office. To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,” but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.” Statements based on the passage: T 1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy. F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father. F 3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father. T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’. F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring in the mines. F 6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years. F 7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition. T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most. T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert. F 10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands” because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement. Section B Passage Reading Passage 1 Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’ names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia. In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since. In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves” when we cannot conceal our feelings. In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since. D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The custom of Valentine’s Day. B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor. C. The relationship between marriage and religion. D. The origin of Valentine’s Day. B 12. Young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor was afraid that ______. A. they would associate with St. Valentine B. they wouldn’t concentrate on their job C. they would defy the emperor’s order D. they were too young to marry

《综合英语》考试试卷(A卷、闭卷) Part I Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (每小题3分,共15分) Passage One Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning. According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent. The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers. 1.The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us . A) the differences between robots and men B) the reason why men need to sleep C) about the need for robots to save power D) about the danger of men working at night 2.Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help
